Embracing innovation by building privacy friendly apps
summary
Panelists lay out concrete steps: inventory and minimize collected data, audit and update third-party SDKs regularly, and automate checks in CI. Use privacy-friendly platform APIs like SMS Retriever API instead of SMS permission and audio focus API instead of phone state. Run a bug‑bounty (HackerOne) or use Google Play Security Rewards to find flaws early. Note a cited metric: ~49% of denied permissions stem from unclear purpose. Example: offer opt‑out contact sharing and only store a last‑known location rather than continuous tracking.
